Extract:
"Miss Hall, I was brought here under the authority of Thorne. We knew that the Leaders were planning this and have been doing so for a while. There are a group of us, including Thorne, from different Bases that have been trying to come up with a way to stop them and I've been sent to follow through with our only logical method." Granger stares me in the face.
"You need me. I'm the only one that has all of the information on the country's military movements and plans. Knowing the Leaders, you expect they are too cocky to think some little girl would turn on them." I don't say it like a question because I'm stating what I've figured out.
"We're going to smuggle you out of the country and across the northern border. Wilson thinks we're just here to hide you away because, if you're captured in an invasion, everything would be compromised. All we need to know is if you're in or out?" Marcus' question is punctuated with the click of Granger's gun. There are only two possible outcomes to this situation: commit treason or die.

The Same Old City
Imagine living in a city that does not allow you to leave at all, exploits you as a person, student, and worker from the day you are born, determines and assigns the "perfect" job for you before you are born, does not allow you any personal freedoms (unless it is alone in your bedroom or bathroom with caution). It will torture or execute, depending on the status or identity of the person, if any law is broken no matter how small or big the law is. That's the city of Dimwar. Tall, thick concrete walls around its borders prevent anyone and everyone from leaving the city- anyone who tries will be searched, chased down, and executed. One teen girl, Taylor Kensley, begins a revolution to change this and fight for the trapped, oppressed people of the city. Will she succeed-- and how long will it take? WHAT will it take? And what will she have to lose to get there? **WARNING: Contains mature scenes with mentions of physical abuse, emotional abuse, domestic violence, self-harm, suicide, murder, and bigotry.

Reforming Society •• OneRepublic {2}
Book Two: They encourage, not the realists and the brave, but the gullible and the fragile, those too weak to fight back. They massacre lower and middle-class citizens once every month to control the growing population through a method called Cleansing. They rid of all music except modern pop to eliminate diversity, keeping only one artist from each state in the music industry. They stop anyone from going in or out of the country and kick out all those not born within the now-armed borders. And that's just the beginning of what they call "The Great Reformation," the grand change of the United States government and all of its operations. All because the United Kingdom has turned against the nation and declared war, or so President Nathaniel Carter says. Carter, as the dictator, begins to tell citizens certain things, things that Ryan Tedder and his bandmates, Zach, Eddie, Brent, and Drew, don't actually buy. After all, physicist Niels Bohr once said, "The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy." Along with this chaos, Ryan is trying to deal with the stress of Ramona becoming distant due to her past reappearing, and the new rules and regulations making his career walk on a tightrope. The national anthem may say otherwise, but the United States is no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. Not with the new government. Ryan and the other guys are determined to dig through the lies and find the real reason why. © 2016 by Verona Rohellec. Second installment of the Blooming Passion trilogy. Complete. Mature language.

I became a villainess loved by all
Everyone loved the "pure and perfect" heroine-except me. I was just a reader who got sick of watching the tragic villainess twin be humiliated, heartbroken, and killed for daring to want love. So, I tossed the book in the trash... and woke up as her. With a sassy system, twisted fate, and a burning grudge, I'm done playing the role of the jealous loser. Now? The villain chases after me like a man starved. The male lead can't stop falling in love. And the heroine? She's not so beloved anymore. I'll rewrite this story-and this time, the villainess gets everything. Watch out, world. I'm not here to survive. I'm here SLAYComplete

The year: 2034 - The government is starting to crack down on anyone trying to protest against its new policies and has instituted a 10pm curfew in the city.

Do they have any hope of success?Complete
